  https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/several-options-treating-misery-motion-sickness

  Several options for treating misery of motion sickness […] Motion sickness occurs when the information that your eyes are relaying to the brain differs from what it is learning from the inner ear, the muscles and the joints. […] While motion sickness medication can be effective, it can have side effects. […] For people who can’t tolerate medications that contain a drug called dimenhydrinate (check the ingredient labels), those containing another drug, meclizine, can be a better option. […] If over-the-counter medications arent working, ask your doctor if a prescription medication might be right for you. […] Many people turn to natural remedies to manage motion sickness. […] Behavioral changes are also important.

  Motion sickness is a common syndrome that occurs upon exposure to certain types of motion. […] Patients should be counseled about behavioral and pharmacologic strategies to prevent motion sickness before traveling. […] Slow, intermittent exposure to the motion can reduce symptoms. […] Scopolamine is a first-line medication for prevention of motion sickness and should be administered transdermally several hours before the anticipated motion exposure. […] First-generation antihistamines, although sedating, are also effective. […] Prevention of motion sickness is more effective than treating symptoms after they have occurred. […] Patients should learn to identify situations that may lead to motion sickness and be able to initiate behavioral strategies to prevent or minimize symptoms.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2060606-treatment

  Although pharmacological treatments for motion sickness are generally very effective, non-pharmacological treatments for prevention should be tried as well. Recognizing situations and motions that are likely to produce motion sickness is the most important factor to allow for prevention of symptoms. Minimizing the amount of conflicting vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive sensory information is the goal of the most of the non-pharmacologic treatments. […] Patients who slowly acclimatize to the motion stimuli generally have less severe symptoms. For example, if preparing for a sea voyage, patients should visit the vessel at dock as early as possible, and spend as much time inside a calm harbor before experiencing the open ocean. […] Selecting the most stable portion of the vessel is helpful. Patients should attempt to locate themselves near the centerline of the vessel and nearest to the ground or waterline. Conversely, locations below deck and high in the vessel often produce the most uncomfortable motion. Supporting the head to minimize additional head motion and to reduce neck strain helps reduce both vestibular and proprioceptive stimuli.

  After all attempts to decrease the amount of motion have been made, adjustments to the characteristics of the motion can be tried. Facing forward or in-line with the direction of the largest motion can reduce the amount of off-axis motion, which can reduce symptoms. Reclining the head back 30 or more can alleviate symptoms by isolating the motion to a single axis within the semicircular canal. […] Patients should be instructed to avoid close work, reading, or watching a video screen. Sunglasses can reduce visual input and may be beneficial. If other preventive strategies fail to improve symptoms, closing ones eyes can reduce symptoms. […] Discussing the symptoms of motion sickness often precipitates the condition and frequently increases the symptom severity in persons with mild symptoms. Patients should attempt to reduce as many other noxious stimuli as possible. Avoid any noxious stimuli such as odors, particularly the smell of emesis or hydrocarbons. Avoiding alcohol and other nausea producing substances is essential. The cessation of nicotine ingestion can reduce symptoms. Caffeine may increase some patients nausea. Controlled breathing has been shown to suppress symptoms in mild cases.

  Biofeedback training may help you relax. You may also learn to control your body responses to decrease nausea and vomiting. Combining biofeedback with gradual muscle relaxation may control nausea in a more effective way. […] Cognitive behavioral therapy may be helpful in reducing the anxiety that some people with motion sickness experience. […] Rapid and shallow breathing often makes symptoms of motion sickness worse. Slow paced diaphragmatic breathing techniques have been explored. While it makes sense that slow, deeper breathing would help lower anxiety, more studies are needed to see whether breathing techniques really help reduce other symptoms.

  Healthcare professionals should advise international travelers on techniques and medications to prevent and manage motion sickness. […] Behavioral interventions to prevent motion sickness are summarized in Table 7.6.1. […] Habituation is the most effective countermeasureeven more than any medicationbut can be slow to acquire and may require periodic re-exposure to maintain efficacy. […] Drugs are useful in situations where habituation is impractical, such as single or infrequent journeys. […] Individuals should be advised that medication is most effective when taken before exposure, rather than after the onset of symptoms. […] Anti-motion-sickness medication for children should be used with caution. […] Behavioral techniques may also be helpful (Table 7.6.1). […] For healthcare professionals managing a traveler with acute symptoms consistent with motion sickness, other causes should be excluded, including peripheral and central vestibular disease.

  When you feel carsick, you’ll generally experience nausea, dizziness, headaches, or maybe even vomiting. […] The good news is, there are specialized physical therapy treatments and exercises to alleviate motion sickness. If you think your motion sickness is affecting your quality of life, working with a physical therapist is advisable. […] A physical therapist can help you retrain your eye-ear connection to take control of your motion sickness symptoms through vestibular rehabilitation using a method called habituation. […] During habituation, you will perform vestibular exercises. This involves visual tracking, head movements, and positions when your eyes are closed. […] The goal of habituation is to expose your body to small doses of the same stimuli that cause your symptoms. […] To learn more about how a physical therapy program can help treat your car sickness, contact us today. […] We pride ourselves on a holistic approach and believe that there are several different methods to addressing motion sickness outside of pharmaceutical interventions.

  Scopolamine, an anticholinergic, is a first-line option for preventing motion sickness in persons who wish to maintain wakefulness during travel. […] First-generation antihistamines have been used to treat motion sickness since the 1940s. […] They are generally recommended for patients who can tolerate their sedative effects. […] Frequent consumption of light, soft, bland, low-fat, and low-acid food can minimize symptoms of motion sickness. […] Medications are most effective when taken prophylactically before traveling, or as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms.

• #1 Motion sickness: an overview

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7048153/

  Motion sickness is easier to prevent than to cure. As such, emphasis should be placed on prevention. Simple behavioral and environmental modification can be effective in the prevention of motion sickness. […] Anti-motion sickness medications are helpful when given prophylactically. They are less effective for treatment because motion sickness may induce gastric stasis that interferes with the absorption of the medications given orally. […] The types of medication used should depend on the duration of exposure, the susceptibility of the individual to motion sickness and the severity of expected symptoms, the incidence and severity of adverse events, and the differences in the effectiveness of the medication. […] Drugs that are effective and most commonly used in the prophylaxis or treatment of motion sickness are anticholinergic agents and antihistamines.

• #1 The Neurophysiology and Treatment of Motion Sickness

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6241144/

  Various non-drug interventions relieve the symptoms of motion sickness, by, for instance, reducing sensory conflict. […] Anticholinergics are used for prevention, e.g., transdermal scopolamine. Administration should be 6 to 8 h before travel starts or before the expected onset of motion sickness. […] Apart from a number of non-drug interventions, H1-antihistamines with the lowest possible potential for sedation are the main treatment of choice for vertigo, nausea, and vomiting due to motion sickness. […] The various forms of drug therapy are based primarily on the role of histamine, referred to above, in the pathophysiology of sea sickness, and on the importance of muscarinic receptors in the vestibular apparatus and vomiting center.

• #1 Motion Sickness Medication: Anticholinergic Agents, Piperazine Antihistamines, Sympathomimetics

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2060606-medication

  While having been shown to have some efficacy in preventing motion sickness, these are a controlled substance with a high abuse potential, and therefore should be prescribed with caution. […] Caffeine has been shown to be of benefit in treating motion sickness only when combined with other pharmacological treatments such as promethazine. […] Antiemetics are taken to relieve nausea, but have not been shown to prevent motion sickness. […] Scopolamine is most commonly used as a transdermal patch that is applied behind the ear for up to 72 hours, at which point it can be replaced. Transdermal scopolamine is the most effective pharmaceutical for the prevention and treatment of motion sickness. […] Oral tablets are also available and should be taken 1 hour prior to departure at their recommended doses.

  What is the best medication for the treatment of motion sickness? […] Scopolamine should be used to reduce nausea associated with motion sickness, but it does not reduce vomiting. (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: A, based on multiple randomized controlled trials [RCTs].) […] First-generation antihistamines (dimenhydrinate and chlorpheniramine) can also be used to reduce nausea associated with motion sickness. (SOR: B, based on multiple RCTs.) […] Scopolamine is more effective than meclizine (Antivert) and as effective as dimenhydrinate. […] Ginger can be used to reduce symptoms of motion sickness. (SOR: B, based on RCTs with conflicting results.) […] Based on a summary of the evidence and expert opinion, UpToDate recommends the use of sedating antihistamines, scopolamine, or ginger for the treatment of motion sickness.

• #1 Motion sickness: an overview

• #1 The Pharmacologic Management of Motion Sickness

  https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/the-pharmacologic-management-of-motion-sickness

  Antihistamines are commonly used to treat or prevent motion sickness. […] The most widely used medications in this class include diphenhydramine, dimenhydrinate, chlorpheniramine, meclizine, and promethazine. […] Meclizine, the longest-acting agent in this class, is widely used owing to its accessibility and marketing, although it has lower efficacy compared with other antihistamines and scopolamine. […] Although ginger is most commonly used as a culinary spice, it is believed to have many medicinal properties, including the treatment of motion sickness. […] A case report describes a reduction in disequilibrium and nausea with ginger root. […] Ginger may cause diarrhea, gastric reflux, flatulence, and mouth irritation. […] Other pharmacologic agents have been investigated for the treatment of motion sickness, including sympathomimetics, other antiemetics, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, and tricyclic antidepressants. […] The 5-HT3 (serotonin) blocker ondansetron has been studied for treatment and prevention of motion sickness based on its antiemetic effects in patients receiving chemotherapy.

  Another approach is to try appropriate measures to improve habituation to motion stimuli. Such measures include desensitizing physiotherapy (reactive motion and body positioning exercises) and practicing actively synchronizing body movements with the motion, including tilting the head into turns. […] The various forms of drug therapy are based primarily on the role of histamine, referred to above, in the pathophysiology of sea sickness, and on the importance of muscarinic receptors in the vestibular apparatus and vomiting center. […] Preparations containing antihistamines and anticholinergic drugs are both important here. An example of a monodrug is dimenhydrinate, which dissociates in the blood to diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline. […] Dimenhydrinate is often prescribed in combination with cinnarizine for short-term acute therapy.

  Patient education is the probably the most important aspect of patient care. Avoidance, motion acclimation, and minimization of motion stimuli are key strategies for avoiding motion sickness. Educating patients to attempt to synchronize vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive stimuli. Informing patient about the importance of personal awareness of the more subtle neurological, psychological, and gastrointestinal symptoms that often precede the nausea and vomiting. Assuring that patients understand that pharmacological treatment works best if started before the onset of symptoms cannot be emphasized enough. […] Finally, it is important to assure patient that, although severe motion sickness may make patients wish they would die, it is extremely unlikely to kill them.

  Another suggestion is the use of acupressure bands which are applied to both wrists as a preventative measure. Acupressure is beneficial in the treatment of motion sickness as it applies pressure at a specific point on the lower side of the wrist either through manual pressure or through the use of wristbands, and helps to curb the symptoms in some, but not all, people. […] In some cases, medication may be helpful in preventing motion sickness, however, these medications often have sedative effects, therefore, a doctor will weigh the likelihood of the patient suffering from motion sickness against the possibility of potential side effects such as drowsiness and impaired concentration which may occur. […] The most commonly prescribed medications for motion sickness are antihistamines and scopolamine. These medications are thought to decrease the symptoms of nausea and general malaise by dulling the inner ear’s ability to sense motion. […] Some medications that may be prescribed to pregnant women to alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness include antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate and meclizine.

  https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/167449/highly-effective-seasickness-treatment-horizon/

  The misery of motion sickness could be ended within five to ten years thanks to a new treatment being developed by scientists. […] Research from Imperial College London, published today (4 September) in the journal Neurology, shows that a mild electrical current applied to the scalp can dampen responses in an area of the brain that is responsible for processing motion signals. Doing this helps the brain reduce the impact of the confusing inputs it is receiving and so prevents the problem that causes the symptoms of motion sickness. […] This technique offers a safe and effective intervention that is likely to be available for anyone to buy, in the future. […] We are really excited about the potential of this new treatment to provide an effective measure to prevent motion sickness with no apparent side effects. The benefits that we saw are very close to the effects we see with the best travel sickness medications available. […] The currents involved are very small and there is no reason to expect any adverse effects from short term use.

  In considering treatment for motion sickness, the medical provider and the patient must understand that prevention is much more effective than trying to cure symptoms once they have started. Both pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments are more effective if applied before the application of the motion stimuli and should certainly work best if applied before the appearance of significant symptoms. […] Multiple pharmacologic treatments exist. As previously stated, they are more effective in preventing motion sickness than treating it and should be taken before motion exposure. In choosing a pharmacological therapy, the patient’s age, comorbidities, and current medications should be considered, as well as the length of voyage in which the patient may be susceptible to motion sickness. The 2 classes most commonly used are anticholinergic agents (scopolamine) and antihistamines (dimenhydrinate [Dramamine]). They are discussed in detail, by class, under Medication.
